2 years past

I'm doing this today because I won't have time in 2 days.

It's been 2 years now. We've struggled, we've cried, we've tried to laugh and live, and we do it in your memory. We've lived for you. We've laughed for you. We've cried over you.
This isn't something I even thought I would have to do year after year, force myself not to cry so the others around me can see that I'm OK, but on the inside, I'm screaming at the sky, at God, at the world. Out of everyone in this world, why did it have to be you? You didn't deserve it, not the pain you felt, the shit you had to live through, the sorrow your parents went through. You didn't deserve to pass. There are people on this earth that don't deserve the life that's been given to them. They throw it away, or use it to cause others pain and anguish. But not you. How many times did you save me? How many times did you tell me that everything would be ok? How many comments passed with words of encouragement and words of an older brother telling his little sister that he would always be there? How many others did you help? How many others relied on your for strength, and to be your pillar? Why is it that God had to take you? You of all people? It wasn't fair.
We've missed you, and we've all cried for you. We'll cry for you more than we have, and the pain will never go away completely. I will admit, I am a little mad at you. You promised you would always be there for me, and that you wouldn't ever break that promise. And you promised you would come back. But you didn't. Part of me wants to be angry and scream at you and tell you how mad I am. But most of me just wants you back.
We all love and Miss you Quintin. And we're all looking forward to the day that we can see you again.

Chapter Six: The First Date

Ok. Today is going to be my least busy day. But after today I won't be updating until sunday. I've got a bunch of stuff to do to get ready for Friday, so I'm gonna be hellza busy starting tomorrow. Today is just getting my kitchen ready for the madness that is going to occur over then next 3 days. I'm tired, and it's only gonna get worse. So, here's chapter 6. And just a heads up. The post next sunday will be a break from this story. I'll pick it back up after like 3 posts. I'm just posting all the pictures I've taken from making the cake, the picture, and then Tim's party. Just so yall can see his face. ^.^ So here we go.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Rikku stood at the door waiting, her arms crossed and her face stern. There was a knock and she answered. Chad stood there, his face nervous. He wore a white button down long sleeve shirt with black pants and shoes. He held a small bag in his hand as well.
       Rikku glared at him and stepped aside, letting him in. He walked inside nervously, keeping silent. The brunette woman motioned to the living room, where she followed Chad. He sat on the sofa and Rikku sat on the recilner directly across from him. She laced her fingers together and rested her head on her hands, not taking her eyes off the teenage boy in front of her. "I'm only gonna say this once." She said finally. "If you hurt my Faint. If you so much as even make her cry, I will break you. I will tear you to a thousand tiny little pieces with my bare hands, and then I will put you back together, just to kill you again." She said darkly.
       Chad nodded. "I don't ever intend on hurting Faint." He said, his baritone voice quiet.
       Rikku fell silent again, still watching him.
       Finally Faint came out to the living room. She wore a dark red shirt that hung off her shoulders slightly with a black skirt that was cut diagonally and a pair of black heels. She had her hair brushed back with only a few strands hanging in her face. She carried a small handbag with her as well. She looked up from smoothing out her skirt and smiled. "Well. It's nice to see that she gave her threats. We can leave now." She said happily.
       Chad stood and walked over to Faint, smiling. He reached over and took her hand, lacing his fingers with hers. Rikku stood and walked with them to the door. "I want you in by midnight." She said, looking at Faint.
       Faint nodded. Rikku said something else in german and Faint rolled her eyes. She replied to her before lightly pushing Chad out the door. "Goodbye Rikku." She said before taking Chad's hand again and started walking.
       Rikku watched them before sighing. She shut the door and went back to her room.
       Faint looked over at Chad, smiling. "So, where are we going?" She asked.
       "It's a suprise."
       "You know I hate suprises."
       "It's a place with food and chairs and music."
       "Oh, well that describes just about ever restraunt in the town."
       "Well then I guess you should start thinking."
       Faint stuck her tongue out at him and smiled. She let go of his hand and linked her arm with his, holding on to it and leaning her head against him. Chad smiled and stopped. "This is for you by the way." He said, handing her the bag he had brought with him.
       Faint looked at it curiously. She let go of his arm and took hold of the bag. She reached in and pulled out a small box with a bow on it. She  slid the bag on her arm and opened the box. Her eyes widened and she let out a small gasp of suprise. "Sado, it's beautiful." She said quietly.
       In the box was a necklace. It was a olg chain with a small silver dragon hanging from it. With the dragon was a small golden tiger. Faint smiled and took the necklace out of the box, placing the box back in the bag. She held it in her hand until Chad took it from her, moving behind her. He put the necklace on for her then moved back beside her. "Do you like it?" He asked.
       "I love it! Where did you get it?" She asked.
       "Keigo's uncle makes jewelry."
       "How much was it?"
       "Stop asking questions."
       "What if I want to ask questions?"
       "Well too bad. Stop asking questions and just enjoy it."
       Faint smiled and leaned up, kissing him on the cheek. "Thank you."
       Chad nodded and smiled. "I'm glad you like it."
       They started walking again, a comfortable silence falling between them. Finally they came to an apartment complex. Faint looked up at Chad, confused.
       He lead her through the apartments until they finally came to a stop in front of one of the doors. He pulled out a set of keys and opened the door. He stepped aside, letting Faint in. He shut the door behind her and smiled. "So, the restraunt is your apartment?" Faint said, laughing a little.
       She had been to his apartment before to do homework, but it had never been just the two of them. She walked in and sat looked around. The coffee table, couch, and tv had been moved out of the living room, and had been replaced by a table with two chairs and a small stereo. The table had a cloth covering it and there were three tall white candles that sat in the center. There were two glasses and two sets of silverwere. Faint looked over at Chad and smiled. "This looks amazing." She said.
       He smiled. "Well, I'm not done yet. I couldn't do everything until you got here." He said.
       Faint walked over to the table and sat down. She watched as Chad grabbed a lighter from the kitchen and light all three candles. He walked over to the stereo and turned the volume up. Soft music flowed from the speakers. He walked to the kitchen for a moment and came back with two plates and a bottle of ginger ale. He set a plate in front of Faint and the other plate in front of his seat. He opened the bottle and poured some in Faint's glass before doing the same for his. When he was finished he walked over to the front door and turned off the lights so that the only light in the room was from the candles. Faint smiled and blushed slightly. Chad sat down across from Faint and smiled at her. "I hope you like it." He said quietly.
       Faint smiled and reached over, taking his hand. "I already love it." She said. "I've never had anyone do all this for me."
       "There's a first time for everything."
       Faint smiled and picked up her fork. "Everything looks great." She said before she started eating.
       Her eyes widened as she took a bite. "Oh my god this is amazing. Don't tell Rikku, but I like your cooking better." She said, laughing a little.
       "Well I'm glad you like it." He said before beginning to eat himself.
       While they ate they talked. They didn't talk about anything serious, just small things. When they were done, Chad took their plates back to the kitchen. He came back with two more. He set one in front of Faint, and on it was a piece of cake. Faint's eyes widened a little when she saw what kind it was. "You made red velvet cake?" She asked, looking at him.
       Chad nodded. "You told me that your brother used to make it for you all the time." He said quietly.
       Faint gave him a soft smile. "Thank you Sado." She said, her voice soft.
       They ate in silence. When they were finished eating, Chad took the plates back to the kitchen and walked back. He held out his hand, motioning for Faint to stand. She took his hand and followed him. He lead her to his bedroom. Faint looked around, starting to feel nervous. She sat on the bed as Chad went to his closet. He came back with his guitar. He sat on the bed as well, making sure to put a small distance between him and Faint so he had enough room to play. He glanced at her quickly before he began to play.
       Faint smiled and watched him. She pulled off her shoes and pulled her feet up on the bed. he laid down, still listening to Chad. Her eyes drifted closed after a while. She felt herself falling asleep and started trying to fight it, but finally gave in. By the end of the song, she was asleep.
       Chad looked over at her and tried not to laugh. He put his guitar back in the closet and walked back to the bed. He picked Faint up long enough to pull the covers back. He set her back down and covered her up. With a small sigh he looked over at his alarm clock. "I still have three hours until she has to be home." He thought.
       He leaned over and lightly kissed her forehead before leaving the room. He blew out the candles and turned off the stereo. After that he walked to the kitchen and turned on the light. He rolled up his sleeves and started washing the dishes that were in the sink. When he was finished he looked around his apartment, trying to think of something to do. He finally went back to his room and sat on the edge of the bed. He watched Faint for a minute, running his fingers through her hair. He looked at his alarm clock again, making sure to keep an eye on the time.
       When there was eleven-thirty, he pulled back the blankets, lightly shaking Faint. "Mi amor, it's time to wake up." He said softly.
       Faint's eyes opened and she rubbed them. "Five more minutes." She said.
       He chuckled and shook his head. "I have to take you home now mi amor. You need to wake up."
       Faint groaned and sat up. "I don't wanna go home. I was comfy."
       Chad handed her her shoes and sle slowly put them on. When she had them on, he helped her up. They walked to the front door and Chad locked it once they were outside. They walked slowly towards Faint's house. When they got half way there, Faint started falling asleep again. Chad sighed and shook his head. "Faint, stop walking."
       Faint stopped, her eyes closed. He carefully picked her up, holding her close. He carried her the rest of the way home. When he got to her house, he knocked on the door. Rikku opened the door and glared at Chad.
       "She fell asleep and doesn't want to wake up." He said quietly.
       Rikku sighed and nodded. She moved aside, letting Chad in. "Just take her to her room." She said.
       He nodded and carried Faint to her room. He gently set her on the bed and carefully took her shoes off for her. He pulled the blanket up and laid it lightly on top of her. He grabbed the teddy bear at the foot of her bed and set it next to her arm. She turned over in her sleep and grabbed it, holding it close. Chad smiled and leaned down, kissing her forehead again. "Good night. I'll see you tomorrow." He said softly before leaving.
       He shut her door behind him and started heading for the front door. Rikku stopped him. "I'm sorry about being so harsh on you earlier." She said quietly. "I'm just very protective of Faint. She's been through a lot and she's been hurt a lot, and I don't want her to get hurt any more."
       He nodded in understanding. "I know. She's told me everything she went through. And I don't want to see her get hurt either." He said.
       Rikku nodded. "I'll see you tomorrow Sado." She said.
       Chad nodded and bowed his head before leaving.
       Rikku shut and locked the front door. She sighed and went back to her room, her face worried. "Richard, watch over this girl when I can't." She said quietly before going to bed.

There's chapter 6. Remember everyone. There will be a small break in the story just long enough for me to post pictures, and then it'll be straigh to chapter 7.

Chapter five: Confessions

Gonna be hella busy starting tomorrow and wanted to get chapter 5 up before things got out of hand. I may possibly be able to get chapter 6 up next tuesday, but I cannot promise anything. So, here's chapter 5!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Chad looked at Ichigo, her face emotionless. "What are you talking about?" He asked.
       "You heard me. You like Faint, don't you?" He asked again.
       Chad remained silent. He looked down at the floor, her face unreadable.
       "We won't say anything bad if you do. We just want to know. Hell, if anything, we'll help you tell her, and if she feels the same way, then we can help you plan a date." Uryu said, pushing his glasses up.
       Chap looked back up and took a deep breath.
---------------
       Faint woke up the next day and stretched. She sat up and looked around. She walked over to her door and moved the chair, opening the door. She walked to the kitchen and saw Rikku standing at the stove, cooking. "Ohaiyo." Faint said brightly.
       Rikku jumped and looked over, smiling. "Good morning to you too." She said.
       Faint looked at the pan on the stove and made a face. "Ew. Are we having that Irish thing again?" She asked.
       Rikku shook her head. "No, I'm having that Irish thing, as you call it. You are making your own breakfast."
       "Can't. I gotta get ready for school." She said.
       Faint ran back to her bedroom and started getting dressed. When she came back out Rikku stood by the door holding a black and red bento box and something wrapped in a paper towel. "Breakfast and lunch." Rikku said, smiling.
       Faint laughed and took both. She opened the paper towel and smiled brightly. "Pop Tarts!" She said, sounding like a child.
       Rikku laughed and gently shoved her out the door. "Have a good day and don't hurt anyone." She said.
       Faint nodded and started walking. She began eating her pop tarts, smiling brightly. "I feel like I'm seven again." She shought, happily munching on her breakfast.
       It wasn't until she got out of her apartment complex that she stopped.
       Chad was standing outside the complex, looking at the ground. Faint walked up to him and smiled. "Hey Sado. What are you doing here?" She asked.
       "I figued I would walk with you to school today." He said quietly.
       "But your house is in the opposite direction of school." Faint said, her voice full of confusion.
       "I just needed to think, and when I realized where I was, I was closer to your house than I was the school, so I figured I would wait for you and walk with you." He said.
       Faint smiled brightly. "Well that was thoughtful of you." She said.
       She linked her arm with his and started pulling him a bit. "Well then let's get going. We'll be late if we don't hurry." She said.
---------------
       Lunch came and Faint went from her class and started heading straight for toe roof. It had become a routine for everyone to meet up on the roof. She started heading up the stairs when two girls stopped in fromt of her. "Hey, we need to talk to you." The blonde said.
       "Can we do this later, I gotta meet up with Strawberry and the others for lunch." Faint said, attempting to get by.
       The larger of the two, the brunette, grabbed her shoulder and pushed her against the wall. "No, you don't. We want you to stay away from Kurosaki, Ishida, and Chad." She said, her voice dark.
       Faint laughed a bit. "Or what?" She asked sarcastically.
       The blonde pulled out a pair of scissors and glared darkly at Faint. "Or we'll cut you, and we'll cut you bad." She threatened.
       Faint rolled her eyes and pushed the brunette away. "Your threats don't scare me. I've dealt with worse than you." She said.
       The blonde held the scissors to her throat and made a small cut. "We aren'tt playing."
       Faint sighed. Her leg shot up, kicking the girl in the stomach. She dropped the scissors and Faint caught them. She grabbed the blonde's arm and spun her, holding it behind her back. She held the scissors out and sighed. "I'm stronger than I look. And no threat will keep me from my friends. I would sooner die than let one of them get hurt, or let some sad snivelling waste of life like you keep me from them." She said.
       She tossed the scissors the the ground and let the blonde go. She straightened her shirt and walked away. When she got to the roof, there was no one there. Faint's head tilted to the side and she sighed. "Looks like I'm eating alone today." She said to herself.
       She walked to where the group usually sat and took her place. She sighed and opened her bento, not really paying attention to the food.
       "Hey."
       Faint turned around and saw Chad standing alone. He walked over and sat next to her, silent. "Where's everyone else?" Faint asked.
       "They're not coming today." He said quietly.
       "Why not?"
       "I asked them not to."
       "Why?"
       "I needed to talk to you alone."
       "Well, we're alone. So what's up Sado?"
       Chad fell silent. He was looking at the ground, her face concentrated. "For about a month now I've had this feeling. I wondered what it was. And for some reason, it only happened when I saw you. It's been getting stronger and stronger every day, and it's been eating away at me. And it wasn't until yesterday at the cemetary that I realized what it is." He paused, taking a deep breath. "I won't say I like you, because that's not it. But it's not exactly love. It's stronger than a crush, but not strong enough to be called love. I don't know what to call it. But I know that I want to be with you. I want to protect you. And I want to show you that not all of humanity is lost. There are still some people that are left in the world that are good, and have good hearts. I want to give you back all the happiness you lost. I want to replace every bad memory with good ones, and then some. I want to make you smile again, and really smile. Not forcing it like you've been doing since you started school."
       He finished talking and fell silent again. Faint looked at her, her eyes wide. Chad glanced over at her and sighed. "I had a feeling you wouldn't feel the same way." He said quietly.
       Faint looked down, her eyes still wide. "Are you serious about what you just said?" Faint asked quietly.
       Chad nodded, turning his body to face her. "Faint I would never do anything to hurt you." He said, his hand resting on her cheek.
       Faint looked up and sighed. "I've been hurt by emotions in the past, and I swore to myself that I would never fall for anyone again." She stopped and sighed again. "I'm going to break that promise and admit that I do have feelings for you. And I'm going to trust you. But just know, if you do end up hurting me, then I am giving up forever." She said, her voice almost a whisper.
       Chad pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her small frame. "I won't ever hurt you." He said. "And that's a promise."
